This is true. Parity amongst the playoff teams is in full swing. The seeding means very little anyway. Home ice is nice but hasn't proven to be a big advantage most of the time. The seeding is deceptive as a team with more points could be seeded lower than another team with fewer points who happened to win their weakass division. Playing well and being healthy heading in to the playoffs can give an 8th seed a solid shot at knocking off a #1 seed, like oh, I don't know, maybe Vancouver?? hahaha. I'm still so happy that the Nucks and Pitt are out in the first round!
